All In The (Jewish) Family
T
he Jewish family is ex-
amined from all angles in
a 342-page book of essays
published by the American Jew-
ish Committee (AJC).
A comprehensive overview of
the Jewish family today, Judaic
perspectives on critical family is-
sues and ways to strengthen to-
day's Jewish families are
included in The Jewish Family
and Jewish Continuity.
Most of the information in
the book was compiled
through the work of the
AJC's William Petschek Na-
tional Jewish Family Cen-
ter, which was founded in
1981 to serve as a research
and policy-oriented institute
designed to enrich Jewish
family life.
In their introduction to the
book, Dr. Steven Bayme and
Gladys Rosen say "certain as-
sumptions about Jewish family
life enjoy a broad consensus
within the community. These in-
clude:
"Family has served as the key
ingredient for transmitting Jew-
ish identity from generation to
generation.
"The Jewish family in Amer-
ica cannot be understood outside
the context of family life in Amer-
ican culture generally.
"Strengthening family life in
America requires both greater
societal recognition of the needs
of today's changing families and
a greater personal responsibili-
ty for and a commitment to lead-
ing a family life.
"Family as a Jewish value has
been one of the key ideals ofJew-
ish society throughout the ages."
The Jewish Family and Jew-
ish Continuity can be ordered
from the publication department
of the AJC at 165 East 56th
Street, New York, NY 10022 or
the KTAV Publishing House at
900 Jefferson Street, Hoboken,
NJ 07030. Cost is $39.50 for
hard-cover or $19.95 for paper-
back.

pass is caught in the opponents'
end zone.
Players cannot run with the
Frisbee. After catching a pass,
players must establish a pivot
foot before throwing the next
pass. No overt physical contact
is allowed. Defenders try to force
turnovers by guarding the throw-
er and receivers.
There are no referees. Players
are responsible for their own foul
and line calls.

T
he people at Carmel Food
are in good spirits these
days. That's because Wine
& Spirits magazine, a nation-
al publication, gave a high rat-
ing recommendation to
Carmel's 1993 GaJil Sauvignon
Blanc dry white wine.
"Lovely. Light and herbal on
the palate," the review said
about the wine, which was cul-
tivated in Cannel's Galil moun-
tain vineyard in Israel. The
product bears the "Baron Ed-
mond de Rothschild" designa-
tion, a label reserved for
Cannel's finest wines.
The Galil Sauvignon Blanc is
recommended with delicately-
sauced fish dishes and most
chicken and pasta creations.
Like all of Carmel's wines, it is
kosher. Suggested retail price
is under $10 per bottle.

It's a cross-country competition,
developed more than 100 years
ago in Scandinavia, in which par-
ticipants use only a map and corn-
pass to navigate between
checkpoints along an unfamiliar
course.
The Israeli championship is
held in the Jewish National

cated about 30 kilometers north
of Beersheva.
The forest is a green oasis for
